The action Of the Marshal in the
now celebrated Kapiolani BSth House
case has been curious. A great deal
Of scandal has been raised through
his subpenaing a cloud of witnesses,
and in some individual cases actual
injury has occurred. besides putting
the gentlemen 70 great personal in
convenience, by being made to dance
attendance at the Police Court. And
then. without any reason given, the
whole affair goes out like the snuff of
d candle. 1t seems to Us that either
the affair has been most unrighteously
huShed up, or that there being moth
ing IN the matter worth bringing be
fore the Court. and the Crown having
but a poor case, the matter was drop
ped. If the latter Is the case q very
great wrong has been done to a num-
Der of young men. 1t looks as if there
were something behind this sudden
access Of morality on the part of the
police, Perhaps if II had come out in
evidence that the crime lay IN being
present at hula, It would have been
rather announcement TO have had com
parsons drawn TO the Palace hulas.
Comparisons, as Mrs. AIalaprop used
most appropriately TO say, are deci-
dedly -'OdorOus-

ability nor character to fiji, but the
very honor Of the country has been
dragged in the mud, In spite of the
most public charge OF bribery, in spite
Of dozens of affidavits in support Of
that charge, affidavits which have
been seen by slmoSt all of our promi-
nent citizens. the scandal of the bride
given for obtaining the opium license
still stands thing which the King
and Government are doing their best
to hush up, There was q time when
the very thought of bride would
have been secuted. but now times are
changed. So corrupt is every one
connected with the guidance of affairs
that the community readily believe it,
and the weight of evidence convinces
them il is true,
We need then, change, and the
power TO change hes in the hands of the
people themselves. Any government
has only the strength of its backing.
The Hawaiian Government has no
backing save that of Office holders and
hopilimeais. The whole common sense
Of the country is arrayed against the
present condition of affairs. Both
wealth and intelligence are united in
feeling that if affairs are allowed to
drift in the direction they are doing,
financial disaster viii overtake the
nation. And financial disaster will
effect not only those in business, but
it Will far more seriously affect the
wage Garner. The mechanic and the
artizan viii be the sufferers from COM
mercial depression.
Careful administration of the pub
lie funds, iudicious expenditure upon
public works of necessity. the improve
ment of means of transit from the re-
moter districts to the sea, and a rigid
economy in useless matters, would
make these Islands the most prosper
Gus spot on the face of the earth.
Mismanagement will ruin any coun
try. We have only to look at such
fertile and naturally blest spots as
Turkey and Egypt to see how disas
trous to the material prosperity of a
country misgoyernment is. Ostenta-
ton, waste and corruption among the
rulers of both those countries have
brought them to the state they now are
in. and ostentation. waste and cor
ruption are rapidly carrying Hawaii
on the same road Instead of being
independent. Hawaii Will become the
pocket borough of ring of capital
lists.
What we, who are DESTROYS of build
ing up free. liberal and prosperous
state. wish. is TO see Hawaii self-re-
specung and self-helping. II cannot
become so. governed as it is now. 1t
IS then the duty of all, rich and poor,
whose interests lie here, TO see that
such changes are made in the Hawai-
ian Government as viii put the coun
try on safe basis. and carry it ON the
road TO permanent prosperity. This
Is what all freemen have a right to
demand, and the time has come for
that demand to be made.

IHE rumors OF an extra session are
thick II the political atmosphere. Es-
pecially Is this so among the knowing
Chinese who are engaged IN the OPT
nm traffic. There Is fear and tremb-
ling among those astute traders as to
what the decision OF the Supreme
Court may be in regard to the opium
law. Being frightened they have APP
piled 10 headquarters and, it Is cur
rentIy stated. have been assured that
should the decision be that the pres
ent law Is unconstitutional. the Leg
iSlsture VIII be convened to put the
matter straight and allow them to
carry on their netar1Ous traffic. How
profitable thing the sale Of opium
Is, may be gathered from the fact that
one Of the licensees OF the Island of
Maui has been hauling IN the shekels
TO the tune OF $500 q week. that Is at
the rate Of $4,000 per year, and the
thing hasn't got into full swing yet
